Amazing experience
We took a 10 day safari with Serengeti Smiles and they delivered on our planned excursion. We had an unforgettable experience touring various parks and we were amazed that we could see so many animals and so close to us. We saw the Big Fives, some of the Little Fives and some of the Ugly Fives ! Our guide Pius was very knowledgeable about Tanzania and the parks. He was so resourceful, respectful and caring about his country, our wellbeing, nature and even his car, to ensure we were safe.
We travelled on March so we expected rain. And we did have some torrential downpours. It did slow us down a little due to very bad road conditions but this is why we planned 10 days this time of year.
Our accommodations were as described. Everywhere we stayed, we had incredibly friendly and welcoming staff.
Overall, we are extremely happy with our experience and we believe it was great value for our money.

Super nice Tour with a great Guide from a nice, little lokal company
We booked our safari directly through the operator, Sole Safari. You simply tell them your desired trip duration and dates, as well as your budget (low, middle, luxury). We received three different offers and chose the one that suited us best.
We booked a private safari for six days. The jeep was designed for six people, so the two of us had plenty of space. Our guide, Dickson, made the whole experience unforgettable. He has nine years of experience and knew exactly where to find the animals. At the same time, he showed the animals the necessary respect, driving slowly and carefully or keeping a safe distance.
The accommodations were wonderful and clean, and the staff were incredibly courteous and helpful, fulfilling every wish to the best of their ability. The food was always very good and more than ample.
We would definitely book through Sole Safari again, partly because of the excellent service and communication, but also because Sole Safari is a small, local company and not run by a foreign investor.
We highly recommend them!

Excellently planned tour
Loise adventures had very good communication throughout, checking in regularly whilst we were on the tour. Our driver John was excellent and very professional. He helped us see so much on the safaris and as a great driver throughout. He was very clear on times for pick ups and was always punctual. The value of the tour was absolutely exceptional, it was like a 5 star experience for a much much less price.

Unforgettable safari
We had an an amazing 9 days safari with Native Afrika. This was our first time and at first we were very confused on choosing the safari company that will fit our requests including travelling with my young daughter and my old mum but they came through answering all of our queries and making sure that we had a comfortable safari. The driver guide Steve was such a wonder guide and a spotter he made sure that we saw all the animals and his experience by positioning his jeep at the right location so that we can be able to make pictures. His jeep was always clean, new and very well kept he always briefed us a day before our next day safari and activities we felt really taken care of. We cant wait to come back to Africa again through Native Afrika Voyages. Highly recommended.

Incredible 6-day safari with Papajohn! He’s a pro. We unlocked the Big Five just in time before the rains. What an experience! 👍
